Trump urged to abandon one-sided trade restrictions during a 'productive' conversation with Xi about the TikTok issue

In a call described as "pragmatic, positive, and constructive," US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed several important issues, including trade and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

During the call, which took place on Friday, Trump announced that he approved the TikTok deal and that the agreement is well on its way. He also mentioned plans for Xi Jinping to visit the United States at an unspecified time, and indicated plans to meet Xi Jinping next month during the APEC summit in South Korea.

Xi Jinping welcomed these plans, and also told Trump that China welcomes negotiations over TikTok. Chinese approval of the framework deal reached by the two sides earlier this week is necessary for TikTok to remain open in the US.

The TikTok deal was a key topic of discussion during the call. Trump confirmed the progress on the deal, stating that approval has been given. No new information was provided about the share market, stock market quotes, or India news.

Trump also stated that the leaders agreed to discuss the need to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. Xi Jinping urged the US to avoid restrictive trade measures during the call.

In addition to the official business, Trump responded to health rumors on his social media platform Truth Social by stating, "I've never felt better in my life." He also shared various posts including accusations against a White House worker and declaring Washington DC a crime-free zone following National Guard deployments due to what he called a crime emergency.

Jason Miller, an India lobbyist, met with Trump at the Oval Office, but the context of this meeting was not specified. No new information was provided about EU sanctions on Russia's LNG exports.

Trump did not provide details on how he plans to deal with India or any potential trade agreement. He wrote on Truth Social about the call with Xi Jinping, stating that it was productive and that they discussed several important issues.

It is worth noting that Trump frequently uses social media to insult critics and media figures, calling some journalists derogatory names and accusing media outlets of illegal bias and critical reporting being a fraud orchestrated by the Democratic Party.

In conclusion, the call between Trump and Xi Jinping was productive and focused on key global issues, including the TikTok deal and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. The leaders agreed to continue discussions and work towards finding solutions to these challenges.
